If you are planning a Disney Cruise, you likely have many questions that you'll want answered to make your vacation as enjoyable as possible. One of the most common questions is "What should I pack?" I know you are excited just hearing the words Disney cruise but you are a little anxious as well because you don't know what is store for you at the Disney cruise.
I'd like to help put your mind at ease... And to give you just a few cruise tips, let me start with the dress code. Some cruisers tend to pack less or more than what they need, especially when it comes to clothes.
First and perhaps most obviously, don't forget to bring your swimwear - you'll spend a lot of time in the swimming pool (and enjoying the beach at Castaway Cay if you are on a Caribbean Disney cruise). Of course sunscreen should not be left at home. Other essentials include flip flops, goggles, and sunglasses, and of course cameras.
If you are bringing the kids, don't forget to bring autograph book and pen. They will surely have fun meeting the characters!
The formal dining options of some cruises also tend to cause worry among some first-time cruisers. The specific requirements will vary by ship and even by restaurant, but a general rule is that the most formal dress is a suggestion, not a requirement.
Still, you'll want to have at least one outfit of nicer "casual" clothes, at a minimum, for the more upscale dining experiences. Again, this may vary depending on which cruise you are sailing on, so be sure to check your itinerary for more specifics once you book your vacation.
